Likely MAY interview at CHENNAI--> --> -->

dmn1,

Congrats on getting the date for May.

You will see others join you momentarily.

Goodluck.
Raju

kdivekar ,

The first step is for you to make sure the case has reached
NVC. Call them at Ph # 603-334-0700, and by referring to your
I-140 approval notice # , you will be able to know that.

More later.
Raju
 
As you advised, I went through the entire forum listing for CP and found most of the answers. Thanks much for the info! Take care.
 
Any fees to be paid at Consulate??

Do we have to pay any fees to Consulate at Chennai at the time of interview other than $335 fees send to Stlouis?

In one of the forum, i saw none at Bombay, I wonder anything different at Chennai!

The fee of $ 335.00 you paid for each member at St.Louis is
all you have to pay.

However, in the case of Chennai consulate, you have to pay the
courier charges for delivering the Visa packet to you the next day.

This does not apply to Bombay because they deliver the visa
packet the same day at their counter.

I am not very clear about the amount for courier, and whether you can pay cash at the Consulate. I read somewhere that you need to carry a demand draft in IR for this. But we will know in
a short while.

Does anyone know, how much DD one has to carry to chennai, in case he is adding a new dependent in the case. Should this be in Rupees or Dollars?

Thanks

next steps

I have couple questions on next steps. Other than waiting for the P4,

1. When do you guys think we can go ahead and fix up doctor's appmt. I guess most of ppl suggested Dr. V .

2. Do we need an appmt for lister labs.

3. whats the DD amount we need to take it to consulate and payable to whom.


If am missing something let me know.

Thanks,
 
congrats

Congrats to all of you who got an interview date.

Chennai May .....here are the answers to your questions

1. When do you guys think we can go ahead and fix up doctor's appmt. I guess most of ppl suggested Dr. V .

You need to schedule appmt with Dr V atleast 2 days in advance.

2. Do we need an appmt for lister labs.

No, you do not need appmt for lister labs. If you walk in b'n 7:30 am - 10:00 am you can pick report same day around 4:00 pm.

3. whats the DD amount we need to take it to consulate and payable to whom.

As far as I know for courier you can pay in cash Rs 350/-. Also I remember seeing a posting earlier that said we have to pay $65 once our immigrant visa is approved. Could some one in this forum please confirm this.
 
For Question 3 of Chennai-may

3. whats the DD amount we need to take it to consulate and payable to whom.

Ans: We need not pay any further fee to consulate if we have paid $335.00 already in US. For those who paid 260.00 before, they only need to pay $65.00 at the time of interview.

WeW may have to keep cash around 3,000 rupees for each family member towards medical testing and vaccination fee etc.. The exact amount depends upon the number and type of vaccinations they give.

Rs 350 need to be paid for courier charges. Additional 50 rupees for each additional passport. Need to be paid in Cash at interview counter.

Thanks,
Puliraju
 
Documents that needs to be notarized for interview

Congradulations to all who got the interview date!!

I have send an E-mail to consulate today about my interview date. Hope to hear from them soon.

Raju595,

Does this courier fees have be paid for both applicant and dependent separately? It appears to me, atleast Rs:1000 in cash have to carried with us while going for interview if $335 is already paid and for people who paid $260 initially have to carry atleast $65+ Rs 1000.

What are all the documents that needs to be notarized? As far i know,

Employemnt letter(2 copies)

Anything else!!

Thanks in advance.

They collect the courier fee lumpsum. I think it is Rs.250 +
Rs.50 for each dependent.

If you paid $ 335/- you do not pay anything else towards the
Visa.

If you have paid $ 260.00 then you need to pay the balance
$ 75 ( I have no idea where the figure $ 65 is coming from ?? )

But someone would clarify.

About the method of payment, I heard they accept US dollars in
cash at the counter. Another alternative would be taking a DD
in equivalent Indian Rupees.

good air-line deals ?

Guys,

Thanks INS Vermont , raju, puliraju, rajkt

I think now it is time for all of us to book tickets. If someone in the group has got good deals on airfare pls lets know. The best I could get leaving May 9th to bangalore is $1200 also if there is any good travel agent feel free to msg me.


Thanks,
 
Congrats to everyone who received interview dates. I believe everyone who is aiming for May, will get it soon.

I received mine, it is on May 23.

Thanks
